Blade: Hawes hand forged Damascus combines layers of 1095 and L6 high carbon steels creating a unique, 180-layer Burl pattern. The clip point hunter blade is opened with single nail nick and comes with a razor sharp convex grind. The blade opens with a pronounced half stop with a strong Damascus back spring and file work enhancing the custom feel.

Handle: Blue Denim Micarta handle scales are attached to stainless steel liners and flush fit to Damascus steel bolsters for a striking, robust look and feel. The curved handle is comfortable and secure for heavy work. A full length Damascus back spring rounds out the handle construction and is embellished with the same file work found on the spine of the blade.
